Welcome back Albert! Hope all is well. Looks kinda generic to be honest. Might spice up the appearance a bit.

Nice to come back to business . Have you checked the latest Google updates regarding directories?

Thank you south and yes everything is well . I realized it is sort of generic so I tried to do it the big boy route by removing the sidebars on the side to make it unique with most directories. Any suggestions I should make to make it even less generic? And I will try something new with the appearance.

I have lol and it is a awful time to come back into the directory business with something like this. However, this is why instead of what I did 3 or 4 years ago focusing on free directories now I do premium directories. It takes a awful lot of time editing links and stuff unlike where I just mass auto approve but I guess it will work out in the long run.

Welcome back, Albert. It's hard to stay away, isn't it?

Interesting, so in other words a directory can still be a viable option?

How about adding relevant images to make it look less generic?

It is . Did you miss me?
aha
This has always been my hobby and I love building sites. Gives me a sense of accomplishment and a different sense than no other.
Glad to be back. Gonna try to recreate my empire I built before .

Indeed...quality directories are good option to increase your ranking on google. Supposely though spam directories are bad. To tell the difference between a good and bad one is easy. Good directories like mine where you through human edited process will have less links to show. I have only around 70 links approved at the moment but if it was a free directory that auto approves it would have 10,000. Google looks at those directories in a less favorable manner.
I shall add relevant images. Thank you for your advice .

I really like, generic looking, but subtal-smooth, if that makes sense. Straight and to the point imo.

Lotsa cats,..needs lots more links to make work. I do understand that isnt so easy.
Dont make it too complex looking, adds confusion.

A directory? Sorry, no marks for originality! The sky image makes it look like a religious site. Which is fine if it's a religious site!

I don't get directories. I think there's now 33 billion of them, all looking the same, all doing the same thing and all getting three visitors a day. Am I missing something?
